Hi John Will you be there with your AEC if so I may get chance to meet up with you this time,missed you at LLandudno and Smallwood the lorry was there but didnt find you (were you in the beer tents)

Hi boys
John I couldn’t find him either or at Kelsall. Was he really there or was it an illusion :smiley: :smiley: BTW I noticed the battery carrier has been upgraded to a flexible type. I will catch up with him soon,maybe he thinks he owes us money. all good things are worth waiting for. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Regards Keith

Hiya yes… i was at kelsall but i like a look around too…get this i’ve been to Astle park every year since 1969
